Early Years Programme

The Early Years in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning, focusing on inquiry-based, play-driven, and transdisciplinary education for children aged 3 to 6 years. This stage nurtures curiosity, creativity, and independence while fostering key developmental skills in a caring and stimulating environment. With a student-centered, nurturing environment, the IB Early Years Programme ensures children develop confidence, independence, and a love for lifelong learning.

Our curriculum is meticulously crafted around universally established pillars of learning and development, including language communication, mathematical proficiency, environmental awareness, and artistic expression. These fundamental aspects emphasize the cultivation of essential self-help skills like eating independence, toilet hygiene, and grooming abilities, laying the foundation for each child’s confidence and progress at this crucial stage. Recognizing the significance of Personal, Sociocultural, Behavioral, and Emotional Development during these formative years, our school places utmost importance on nurturing these facets within the school hours.
